At that moment, the room fell into silence again.
It took about half a minute before Odell broke the silence. âThey already confessed that you were the mastermind.â
Thomas met his gaze and replied, âDid they really say that | ordered them to do so?â Odellâs expression did not change. âYes.â
Thomas laughed. âThen, why am | still here? Shouldn't the police come and take me away?â
Odellâs eyes went cold. âTheyâre already on the way.â
âWell, I'll wait for their arrival.â
âIf you admit that you did it, | can help you get away before they arrive.â Odell leaned back against the sofa and looked at
Thomas. âBut if you're interrogated at the police station, | wonât be able to help you anymore.â
Thomas maintained his smile. âThank you for your kindness, but an innocent man doesnât have to fear anything. Itâs impossible
for them to conclude that Iâm related to those shareholders who betrayed Carter Corporation.â
Odell pursed his thin lips. His face also turned gloomy and cold in that instant. âI advise you to take this chance while itâs on the
table.â
Thomasâs expression changed, and he asked, âWhat's that supposed to mean?â
Odell called out in a cold voice, âEnter!â The next second, the door was pushed open, and two bodyguards swiftly came in. They
held Thomas's shoulders down, pinning both his arms on the table in front of him. Then, another bodyguard with a sharp ax
came over and stood by the table, waiting for Odellâs command.
Thomas lay on the table wretchedly.
Odell elegantly sat in place. âSince you're my little brother, if you admit that you did all those things right now, I can give you a
chance. Not only will I let you go, but I'll also tell the police not to pursue you.â After a pause, he leaned forward and said ina
cold voice, âOtherwise, I'll chop off your piano playing hands.â
Thomas frowned and met his gloomy gaze, answering, âI havenât done what I haven't done. Even if you kill me, | wonât admit it.â
Odell glanced at him. âI'll give you another ten seconds to think about it.â
Thomas pursed his lips.
As Odell looked at the time on his wristwatch, the second hand ticked away.
Soon, ten seconds passed.
He frowned coldly. Then, he said, âChop off one of his fingers first.â
âYes,â the bodyguard answered and raised the ax.
However, at that moment, there was a thud outside the door.
Then, the tightly closed door was pushed open. By the door, the bodyguard who was guarding it fell to the ground, clutching his
crotch. Sylvia, who had just knocked him down, rushed in like a gust of wind and reached Thomas's side in an instant, shoving
the two bodyguards away.
The two bodyguards were caught off guard and were pushed aside.
Sylvia pulled Thomas up and dragged him behind her before spreading her arms out to protect him. She glared coldly at Odell.
âOdell Carter, heâs your brother! How could you do this to him?
Her eyes were red, full of fear and anger. There was also a hint of disgust. Odellâs already gloomy expression was suddenly
shrouded with a layer of haze, and the surrounding temperature also dropped. Sylviaâs pupils shrank. Then, she composed her
emotions and said in a pleading voice, âI heard everything earlier. Thomas has nothing to do with Carter Corporationâs crisis at
all. Can you let him go?â
